Big villain: Dr. Kananga The plan: First, to grow a load of heroin (using voodoo to scare off the inquisitive); then, to flood the US with it, creating a massive new market of junkies.

A man of many faces (well, two), Dr. Kanaga is not only the corrupt ruler of the Carribean island of San Monique but also a druglord called Mr. Big and owner of a successful chain of bars called Fillet Of Soul. Busy man, although not too busy to explain his nefarious scheme for importing drugs into America to James Bond in microdetail.

Giveaway speech: “When the number of addicts in the country doubles I will start to market the acres that you blundered into the other day. That heroin will be very expensive indeed, leaving myself and the phone company the only two going monopolies in this nation for years to come.”
